About Hugo und der liebe Gott
After his first day at school 6 year old Hugo doesn't want to continue to go to this "institution". He appeals to God to become a grown up, who fulfills his wish and lets him experience life as an adult in the body of his father, a police physician. When Hugo falls under suspicion of having failed in his profession he again turns to God.
Directed by Walter Davy, Hugo und der liebe Gott leans on a strong ensemble — Axel Corti, Towje Kleiner, Sylvia Reize — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1989.
